If you are experiencing difficulties relating to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma you may wish to have a confidential space where you can explore these issues and find a way forward. You may be feeling alone, helpless, stuck and/or disconnected from those around you. I will work collaboratively with you, to see your distress within the context of your life, offering a therapeutic approach best suited to you. Together we can build on your strengths, skills and resources and help you to feel more empowered.
Therapy provides a space to step back and look at what’s happening in your life, gain a new perspective, and learn healthy ways to cope and respond to challenges. I am committed to working together at your own pace, providing a warm and safe environment to understand what is bothering you or causing you distress.
I work in an integrative manner, adapting the work to your specific needs and the difficulties you bring to therapy. Finding the right therapist for you is important.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
